Amon Amarth Tab by Amon Amarth Amon Amarth "Amon Amarth" from the album: Once Sent from the Golden Halls Transcribed by: Nick Beato (entity@netwide.net) Tuning (High to Low): C G D# A# F C (Key of C#m down 2 steps) I've tried to space the notes out right, but some parts are kinda weird. If you aren't sure what i mean, listen to the cd. Also, some riffs have lead ins that are at the end of a section, i transcribed them there!!! (Part 3's 1st guitar is an example of this!) Another valid point worth mentioning is the fact that gtr 1 is tremolo picked EXTREMELY SLOW copared to most metal bands. it's more of 16th notes so don't play it as fast as you can! Part 1 (let all notes ring out) C ------------------------------------------------------------------ G ---------------5---------------*----------------------------------

-7-------------------------------9-------------------------------- C -5-------------------------------7-------------------------------- solo (rythem to Part 6 behind it) That should be about it. I'll add the solo later, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. It's off the C# Aeolian mode (if in standard tuning) and focuses around the C# at the 14th fret of the 2nd string. Song Composition Part 1 (0:00) Part 2 (0:30) Part 1 (0:59) Part 2 (1:13) Part 3 (1:43) Part 4 (2:42) Part 3 (2:57) Part 4 (3:26) Part 5 (3:55) Part 6 (4:26) Part 5 (5:25) Part 1 (6:23) Part 6 (6:37)* Gtr 2's ONLY w/ the solo Part 6 (7:07)* Gtr 1's riff ONLY w/ solo (still) until fade...
